[Psychological personality traits and development of cardiovascular diseases in young men (results of a 10-year prospective study].
Cardiovascular abnormalities developed in 7.3% among physically and mentally healthy males aged 20-29 years after 10 years of practical activities that made it necessary to take crucial decisions under conditions of time shortage and information gap, to show determination and courage. The incidence rate for cardiovascular diseases was 38.8% among males with asthenic personality traits and 6.9% in those with sthenic traits (p less than 0.001). In persons with well-balanced personality traits, cardiovascular diseases were ascertained not to develop. The disparity between the psychological traits and those demanded by occupational activities is the major pathogenic factor as considered by the authors.
